Pin-Ups 1972: Third Generation Rock 'n' Roll
Author: Peter Stanfield
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 320
Elvis, Eddie, Chuck, Gene, Buddy and Little Richard were the original rockers. Dylan, The Beatles, The Stones and The Who formed rock's second coming. As the 1960s turned into the 1970s, the crucial question was who would lead rock 'n' roll's third generation? Pin-Ups 1972 tracks the London music scene during this pivotal year, all Soho sleaze, neon, grease and leather. It begins with the dissolution of the underground and the chart success of Marc Bolan. T. Rextasy formed the backdrop to Lou Reed and Iggy Pop's British exile and their collaborations with David Bowie. This was the year Bowie became a star and redefined the teenage wasteland. In his wake followed Roxy Music and the New York Dolls, future tense rock 'n' roll revivalists. Bowie, Bolan, Iggy, Lou, Roxy and the Dolls - pin-ups for a new generation. 'Peter Stanfield has scavenged the ruins foxed paperbacks, illegible underground press layouts, yellowed national newspaper cuttings, tatty pages from Disc and NME and creased copies of curious sex magazines (including Curious) to join the dots between art and artifice, from avant-garde interiors and anti-fashion boutiques to wayward rockers, glam-Mods and anachronistic Teds. Pin-Ups 1972 is an exhilarating ride through postmodern popular culture at its peak.' Paul Gorman, author of The Life and Times of Malcolm McLaren 'This intensely researched, vividly detailed book plunges you into the electric moment of 1972 as year as revolutionary in rock history as 1967 or 1977.' Simon Reynolds, author of Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy and Rip It Up and Start Again
